The review

This new release features Keith Richards alternate Main Offender tracks, taken from various sources. The first 5 tracks come from the tour rehearsals which began in October 1992 and had first being broadcasted by US Westwood One on a radio show called The Timothy White Sessions, these tracks were recorded just 4 days before the start of the European Tour in Copenhagen. They are followed by Little T&A second take, an instrumental version from 1979 previously known as Bulldog. The first take of this song is vert short instrumental that appeared on Bird’s Vault Vol.2. Then 2 tracks from the 1987 sessions in Montreal follow, before Sure The One You Need, recorded by Ron Wood and Keith Richards in 1974 and Little T&A with early lyrics. Cocaine with Eric Clapton from the Ritz in 1986 and a solo recording from 1981 come after, then a live version of Gimme Shelter from Barcelona 1992 and 3 takes of Big Enough from the 1988 promo only 12”.
